Ingredients and Tips
- Kielbasa sausage links – Polish kielbasa is different from regular smoked sausage in that it has a distinct, heavy garlic flavor and coarse texture. It won’t taste exactly the same, but feel free to use any smoked sausage you like for this sheet-pan dinner.
- Baby potatoes – Try to find small potatoes that are uniform in size so they cook evenly.
- Peppers, onions, and garlic – Yellow onions are sweeter with a nice bite. Use any color bell peppers you like!
- Olive oil – Use a high-quality EVOO for the best taste, or other neutral-tasting high-heat oil like avocado oil or sunflower oil.
- Spices – A simple combination of paprika, salt, and pepper is all you need to complement the flavors of the veggies and sausage.
How to Make Sheet Pan Kielbasa Sausage and Veggies
Tips for Success – A rimmed baking sheet with a bit of a lip really is ideal here. The sausage and vegetables release some moisture while cooking, which could drip in the oven.

Serving Suggestions
Sheet pan kielbasa and potatoes is an entire meal in one recipe! It has protein-packed meat, starchy ‘lil potatoes, and fresh bell peppers.
If you do want something else on the table to feed a larger group, consider also making a simple green salad that everyone can pass around. And no one will say no to a basket of warm and crusty bread to share!
Frequently Asked Questions
That is a bit of a personal view… Both kielbasa sausages and hot dogs are made with processed meat and additives, so neither is really a “healthy food.”
Yes, kielbasa is precooked before packaging. But while you can technically eat it cold from the package, it is safest to heat it before serving to avoid any potential food-borne illnesses.
